What Our Customers Say
Real Reviews from Real Neighbors
“Auto City is the best auto repair in San Francisco California. They are very thorough and professional. I don't let just anyone work on my car. They just replaced the engine in my car and they did it superbly! Shouts out to Jaime thanks again!”
Gerald Perkins
“I was referred by a long time customer and this doesn't always mean you're going to get great service but there are no auto body, repair and maintenance shops like Auto City Repair. Jaime is honest and extremely professional. I had body damage, brake replacement and oil change. My car was done in a fair amount of time and runs perfectly! I would recommend them to anyone.”
Kevin Brereton
“Stopped by bc there was a horrendous metal on metal screeching coming from my back wheel/rotor… Jaime met me and helped me locate and fix the issue on the spot… I was so relieved and grateful for the immediate help and solution. Def recommend for any of your car needs!”
Rossana Li
“The staff at Auto City are always welcoming and friendly. Their service is more than reasonable and the turnaround time is the best. Thanks Jaime and Arturo for such a great service department.”
Erin Kametani
“Dropped my car off before 9am and had it back, break pads replaced by 4pm. Jaime and Arturo are very kind and honest guys. Prices are fair, all around 10/10 service. Thanks guys!”
Jason Saavedra
“Once again Auto City Repair goes above and beyond all expectations I went there for a spark plug issue, they realise There is a small leak in the vacuum system and they fix it at no extra cost. It doesn't get any better! This is why I don't trust anybody else with my car. They are the best, period! Thank you again for your first class care and service”

Clay Bernard
“This is my favorite shop in San Franciso. They can fix the alignment of your Ferrari's window seal or rebuild your Manconi to slice that mortadella.”
Orion Parrott
“I had a great experience. Jaime was able to fix my car at much less than State Farm estimated the repair. Everyone was respectful, knowledgeable, helpful, and honest. I will definitely use this shop when I need to in the future.”

“I have always preferred independent service shops like Auto City Repair to dealerships, as I want to know the people involved. Arturo and Jaime are honest and fair, the work they recommend is done well and on time, and the cost is reasonable. They're close to public transportation here in San Francisco, and their bright orange building on Folsom Street is hard to miss. I recommend them for bodywork too — I've seen amazing results come out of there.”
